[Through the Book] The ancestor only wants to live a long life

After the ten slaps, Rong Enqing waved his hand and Zizhong bowed and walked out.

Cui Liu's face was red and swollen, and she stared at Rong Enqing with hatred, "Madam, please tell me my fault."

Rong Enqing looked at her with a fake smile: "You said in front of me that your old lady is kind and pity you, isn't that implying that I have a vicious heart? Don't you know how to sympathize with the servants?

"You are a lowly maid who has committed a crime. How dare you slander me, a lady of the highest rank, in person? I didn't kill you right away, but only slapped you ten times. Shouldn't you be thanking me?"

Cui Liu glared at Rong Enqing fiercely, "If you want to accuse someone of something, you can always find a pretext for it."

"Oh, you still know this?" Rong Enqing sneered sarcastically, "Jiang himself is not well-educated, but he has taught you a lot!"

Cui Liu's eyes flashed. Coming for Jiang? Yes, when the old marquis was still alive, Rong and Jiang were at odds!

"Please tell me clearly what you are doing here, Madam. Even if I die, I want to die with understanding." Cui Liu put away the hatred and anger in her eyes and acted as if she was righteous.

Rong Enqing sneered and looked down at Cui Liu, "I might as well tell you that the little girl whose mother was forced to death by you is the granddaughter I had planned to adopt into the Marquis' Mansion! I came here today for her!"

After these words came out, Cui Liu and Lu Yan's expressions changed drastically. If they were still lucky enough to escape Yun Hao's punishment at the beginning, then at this moment, facing Rong Enqing, they were both unsure.

When the mansion was clearing out the servants, Rong Enqing sold dozens of servants without blinking an eye. Even Zhang Ma, who had been with her for decades, and Lan Xiang, whom she loved deeply, were not spared.

Lu Yan was so frightened that she was about to say something, but Cui Liu spoke first: "Madam, we did make mistakes, but we are not guilty of death. My master has punished us two by sending us to the south, and we will leave for the south soon. Please show mercy today, Madam!"

Lu Yan was not as smart as Cui Liu, so she had no choice but to kowtow and beg for mercy, "Madam, please show mercy. I am willing to kowtow to you and apologize for my crime! Madam, please forgive me!"

"These are not what I want to hear." Rong Enqing shook his head slowly and said in a cold voice: "It seems that the lesson just now is not enough."

After that, he shouted again: "Zi Zhong, come in!"

As soon as Rong Enqing finished speaking, before anyone came in, Lu Yan was so frightened that she burst into tears and kept kowtowing to Rong Enqing, shouting, "Madam, please spare my life! I didn't mean to kill anyone. I was just following orders! Please spare my life, Madam!"

Cui Liu was still thinking of a countermeasure. When she heard Lu Yan's words, she quickly agreed, "Madam, please understand. We servants are all following orders. Madam, please understand!"

"Listen to orders? Whose orders are you listening to?" Rong Enqing shouted, "Why don't you tell the truth?"

"It was our old lady! It was all our old lady's orders!" Cui Liu blurted out, "We servants wouldn't dare to force anyone to death even if we were brave enough! It was all our old lady's orders that we did it!"

Cui Liu poked Lv Yan next to her with her elbow and said, "You should speak up soon!"

Luyan looked at Cuiliu in confusion, then nodded in agreement: "Ah, yes, Cuiliu is right!"

After Lu Yan finished speaking, Cui Liu hurriedly added: "Madam, what this slave said is true! It's because my old lady is afraid that the appearance of Li's mother and daughter will bother our madam, and also afraid that our madam will be angry and annoy our master, and will not let her family help the master in the future. Therefore, our old lady wants to force Li's mother and daughter to death."

It seemed that the more she spoke, the smoother it became. Cui Liu couldn't stop talking. "Yes! That's what our old lady ordered. She also said that it would be better if the mother and daughter died together! We servants felt sorry for the little girl, so we wanted to kill the mother and keep the daughter. This can be considered an explanation to our old lady!"

Rong Enqing was dumbfounded. Was it true or false? Was Jiang so cruel? She felt that with Jiang's personality, it was inevitable that she hated Li's mother and daughter. It was also possible that she ordered the servants to embarrass the mother and daughter.

But if Jiang really wants to kill someone, I'm afraid he doesn't have the courage to do so, right?

It is more likely that this girl with a strong sense of opinion is using chicken feathers as a token of authority!

Seeing that Rong Enqing didn't believe her, Cui Liu continued, "Madam, think about it, we have nothing to do with the Li mother and daughter, why would we force them to death for no reason? All this was ordered by our old lady!"

Just then, a loud shout came from outside the door.

"Bitch! How dare you spit blood at me!?"

Rong Enqing turned around and saw Jiang Shi walking in angrily. Behind her were Yun Hao and Song Shi, as well as housekeeper Qian and several maids and servants. The group was so large and looked quite intimidating.

Jiang didn't care about Rong Enqing, she rushed to Cui Liu and slapped her. After the slap, she was surprised to find that Cui Liu's face was swollen beyond recognition.

"you……"

Jiang looked stunned for a long while, and then, as if she suddenly realized something, she turned around and glared at Rong Enqing, pointing her finger at him and said, "Tell me, was it you who...tortured her into confessing and threatened her to slander me?"

As soon as Jiang stretched out her hand, Rong Enqing curled his lips and glanced at the finger she stretched out with an unfriendly look. Jiang was so scared that she quickly withdrew her hand in the middle of her words, which made the originally aggressive questioning change its tone.

Rong Enqing glanced at Jiang with a fake smile, then turned to look at Cui Liu, "Your old lady said that you were threatened by me, so you slandered her. Come on, tell me again, who was it that forced Li to death?"

Jiang also turned around and stared at Cui Liu, her eyes full of warnings and threats, "Think it over carefully before you speak. If you dare to lie, watch out for your life!"

Song, who was standing at the door, had a playful expression on her face and had no intention of going into the house to dissuade them.

Yun Hao, who was also standing at the door without entering, had a gloomy face and looked at Jiang with disappointment in his eyes.

Cui Liu looked at Jiang on the left and Rong Enqing on the right, feeling extremely confused and helpless.

Did she bite to death that it was Jiang who forced Li to death? Jiang would definitely not let her go! The promise she made last night to take her back after the incident was over would definitely be abandoned.

Should he go back on his words and say that he had acted on his own initiative? Or should he turn against Rong and say that she had coerced him into slandering Jiang?

If she really said that, she would have completely offended the Rong family. The Rong family was not someone who was easy to deal with! Could the Jiang family protect her?

Think about the confrontations between the Jiang and Rong families in recent times. Which time has the Jiang family gained the upper hand?

The most important thing is, if she admits that she forced Li to death on her own initiative, then her life will be in danger!

After thinking it over for a thousand times, Cui Liu finally looked at Rong Enqing with a firm gaze, "Madam, everything I just said is true! It was indeed our old lady's idea to force Li to death!"

After saying that, Cui Liu turned to Jiang and kowtowed, saying, "Old Madam, I'm sorry. I don't want to betray you. But I can't go against my conscience and say that Madam threatened me and wronged you! It was you who clearly ordered me to do this in the first place!"

After saying this, Cui Liu buried her head in the ground again, as if she was ready to listen to the instructions and would not argue any more.

At this moment, Jiang was so angry that she kicked Cui Liu to the ground, "You bitch! Bitch! How dare you slander me!!! Damn bitch, I will kill you!" Jiang kicked her and shouted at the same time, with a crazy expression and inappropriate behavior.
